As the snow begins to melt and the first sprouts poke through the thawing ground, Chicagoans begin to prepare for Spring. They open their windows sky high when the temperature creeps over 60 degrees. They don the \u201cChicago uniform\u201d of shorts and a hoodie. And they get ready for the busy moving season! Here are five tips for moving in the Spring in Chicago that will save you money and help you have a successful move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spring marks the beginning of the busy season for the moving industry. The best moving companies in Chicago<\/a> book up weeks and months in advance, and you don\u2019t want to be left in the lurch. So download a free moving checklist<\/a> and start planning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The sooner you reserve your move, the better chance you\u2019ll have of booking your ideal move day. This is especially true if you have to move on a weekend or at the end of the month. And remember: some moving companies<\/a> charge more depending on the time of the month you move, but Move-tastic! doesn\u2019t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many Chicagoans are stuck inside during the winter, so when Spring arrives, they want to spend as much time outside as possible. Check your area\u2019s event calendar to see if there\u2019s anything going on that could affect your move day. Here are a few things plan for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Weather in the Chicago Spring can be unpredictable. Your moving company will perform your move regardless of the weather, so it\u2019s important to be prepared in case you have to move on a rainy, windy, or chilly Spring day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your move crew will bring floor runners to protect your hardwood floors from water and dirt, and carpet protectors are available upon request. If you have any questions or concerns about the best way to move in imperfect weather, just contact your moving company for advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spring cleaning doesn\u2019t just make your home feel spotless\u2014it can actually save you money on your move! Downsize<\/a> and declutter your home by cleaning out those closets and junk drawers and sell or donate any unwanted items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your moving cost is directly tied to the amount of items you need to move. Moving companies charge by the hour, so the less stuff the move crew wraps and transports, the lower your cost will be. Don\u2019t pay to move stuff you don\u2019t want or need. Grab a spring cleaning checklist<\/a> and get rid of items you no longer use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparing for a move is a lot of work. And Spring is a busy time of year! One of the best ways to reduce stress during your move is to hire a team of professional packers<\/a>. While they\u2019re carefully packing up your home room by room, you can spend more time doing what you actually want to do\u2014like enjoying the Spring weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spring is a great time to move to a new home. After all, you get a fresh start along with fresh weather! And Chicago\u2019s favorite movers are here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Move-tastic! knows how to move throughout the year in unpredictable\u2014and sometimes inclement\u2014Chicago weather.
